This was a must win

1980: The Louie and Bouie era ends with a disappointing loss to Iowa in the Sweet 16. A guy calls into the post game show and says two words and hangs up.

"FIRE BOW-HEEM!!!" :mad::confused:
Yes. His technical foul in the 2nd half really put that game out of reach. I went to that game as my spring break trip.

He tried to use his press pro-actively in the second half to put the game away and we got about a 7 point. It did- for Iowa who won by 11. That might explain his reluctance to use it except in desperation situations since then.

Back then he sent four guys after the ball and put another under the basket. All they had to do was to loop the ball to mid-court. Who else was going to get it?
